very interesting, thank you. unfortunately some of them just say "class a felony," which is a little vague to someone un-used to your system. need the info for a paper im doing.

You aren't going to get any prison time for personal quantities of shrooms. Maybe jail. Most likely, probation.

Each state has a different system for classifying offenses. Its hard to explain when you have 50 different legal systems in the same country.
In my old home of Arizona, felonies are numbered from class 1 to class 6. Class 1 is homicide, class 6 is stuff like possession of marijuana. Possession of mushrooms is a class 3 felony, but it often gets reduced to a misdemeanor during plea bargaining.

Jail is a facility where you are detained for up to one year for misdemeanor offenses. Also, people who haven't been to trial are kept in jail if they can't get bail. Prison is for incarceration over one year, for felony offenses. Two very different beasts.

From what my friends have said, county jail is a joke while prison sucks dick.
I was inside a jail and it didn't even look all that bad. Minus the fact that you live in a cage.

I'd imagine that this depends on the county. But most places I've seen don't seem so bad.

Depends on what jail.
I was in "The Matrix" in Maricopa county (Sheriff Joe territory) and they made us wear pink underwear and sandals. To eat we got peanut butter that was runny like soup and stale bread. We got put in a holding cell for 24 hours where the only place to lie down was the floor, and we had to use toilet paper rolls for pillows. Everything smelled like bleach and shit.
And there were no windows or clocks, so you didn't know what time of day it was. Or even what the date was. It was fucking horrible.
Many people like prison more because you can wander around and actually go outdoors (it's a bigger cage!), whereas in jail you're just cooped up.

I remember in that initial holding cell, the guy sitting next to me got a copy of his charges in English, but he only spoke Spanish. So I offered to translate it for him.
He seemed very nice and grateful as he handed me the paper. I figured he was caught with some mota, because he seemed really nice. His charges:

I know In Kentucky it can get you prison time. It took 3 good years of my life. Got hit with an addition on manufacturing is was put it over the top. Because I had grow supplies and a few bulk grows and some dried. And any dried shrooms in Kentucky are considered processed for distribution. I had one of the best lawyers in the state. Kept my sentence down pretty low for what I was facing. Still got 12 and did 3 till I made parole. And all of Th dried shrooms weren't even in bags, they were still in the dehydrator. And it wasn't but about an ounce.
My case had alot of things against me though including state paid informants. As long as you got em on you away from a grow and all in one bag then jail should be about all.
And for the record after prison in two states and jail in countless counties. Jail sucks dick compared to prison. Shit I had a PlayStation, all the Cd's I could order. Canteen had anything and everything on it to buy. The yards were nice, hell it was like the fountain of youth for me. I needed a break from a bad lifestyle. I mean I don't recommend either of em to anybody but If I had to pick Id rather do my time in prison. And at the time, I needed it. Life changer for some people for sure. But just stay safe and smart and don't get caught with any.

Wow, damn... That's fucking ridiculous. Because when I think of Kentucky, I think, "Progressive drug legislation."

Nope I didn't deal. I always spread the love for free weather its cannabis, shrooms or LSD. charging only leads to capitalism which fuels the black market in which keeps are governments pockets full.
I got caught up because a scorned woman had loose lips around the wrong people. And one of those people had some pending charges that were all misdemeanors, but when a narcotics detective asked him if he knew of any bigger fish out there that would help him out. I guess my name popped into his head. In the suppression hearing we got his statement thrown out once we proved that the guy had done similar things in past cases in order to keep his record clean. So the judge sided with us and discredited his bullshit stories. But my past record wasn't the best also so that didn't help.
Any Kentucky is a pretty calm state when It comes to certain drugs and certain counties. But you got to remember were still one of the only commonwealths left. So we don't go by the rule book most states do.

Jail fucking sucks.. I heard from a lot of people I was in jail with that prison is muuuuch better.
There were roughly 30 of us in a closed off area. maybe 8 separate rooms with bunk beds. So 16-20 off in rooms, the other 10 all stuck in the main room.
Black mold was all over the bathrooms. Never got to go outside. The night guard blasted shitty rap from his phone every night. Arguments would get started over trivial shit. It was a very demoralizing environment.
Jail employees are the fucking scum of the earth. (at least that was the case where I was) I had never imagined that people that stupid could even exist. I am still shocked to this day....
I got busted due to cops inviting themselves into my house. There is a thread about it over on the Security and Safety board.

Fuck Mississippi so hard.
